Wall Art

[filipvdv]

i'm looking for wall posters/decals, any decoration for my garage to make it a racy looking place.

I have been searching this forum for "decals", "posters", "stickers", but cant find a good thread for ideas. Also visited the regular sites when you google it, but cant find what i need. some nice, big posters or banners.

i'm into porsches, rallycross, F1 old and new, oldtimers, escorts mk2

I would love some pictures of jay leno's garage for inspiration

i added some stuff i've gathered during my searches, but these are not quite up to it

maybe you can give a hint where to look, thx !!

Looking at Jay's garage, since they are all practically the same size, I would bet he had all those posters custom made. With today's solvent printers, you can print on vinyl, cloth, wallpaper or even a bed of rocks if you had a flat bed printer.

Ebay - search Vintage Racing Posters. You can get all kinds of reprints for $5 on up.

Depending on where you live, I've even found stuff at the local arts and crafts type places like Hobby Lobby, Garden Ridge, Michaels, etc.

Check with your local auto parts stores and see if they have any promotional stuff they are taking down.

NASCAR or IRL come through your town? Grocery stores promote that stuff big time around here and if you ask, many times they will put your name on stuff and call you when they take it down. Helps if it is "your" local grocery store and they see you every week.

Don't try to collect too much at one time. Let the collection come to you.

ZGallerie has some cool stuff from time to time. But since it is more of a "wife" type shopping place, you will be pay big $$$ for some of it. My wife wants this one for my office. It's on canvas.

We got one a couple of years ago, and it's like a '48 Ford truck, cut in half. So you have to buy both pictures to get the whole truck.. But more for the inside of the house, rather than the garage.

Kind of different but expensive. Haynes exploded view art from the UK. Murals.
